Multiple Formats: Contemporary Art Book Symposium

BU SVA is thrilled to sponsor the Multiple Formats: Contemporary Art Book Symposium! Multiple Formats is a three-day in-person event from February 24 - February 26.

Multiple Formats: Contemporary Art Book Symposium weaves together conversations about artist books and higher education, pedagogical practices involving artist books, artist advocacy, and artist book distribution, collection, and access. Intended to be an elastic and inclusive forum for discussions about artist book publishing, Multiple Formats pays particular attention to publishing by graphic designers, the use and creation of artist books in visual arts programs, publishing as a personal and collaborative process, and other topics of interest.

The goal of Multiple Formats is to build community and strengthen creative networks, create a hub for research and sharing of work, and platform substantive discussion about sustainable creative practices that include artist books.

Sponsored by the School of Visual Arts at Boston University Organized by Christopher Sleboda, Associate Professor of Art, Graphic Design at Boston University.
